IDEAS OF INVENTORS. One of the machin?* exhibited at'tho dairy show recently held in London was a neat contrivance by which but ter could be made out of fresh milk In 60 seconds at the tea table. Thewest'sgold output may be doubled by the invention of a resident of Colo rado City. It is a simple machine for caving flour gold. Is run by a gasoline engine, and may be taken anywhere. Experiments on 'twice-treated tailings or mine refuse show an accumulation of five and one-half pounds of gold in ten days. An ingenious respiratory apparatus for the use of firemen has been in vented by Charles E. Chapin, of Berke ley. Cal. It consists of a hood lined with oiled silk to cover the head, and an air cylinder whicn is strapped on the back. The cylinder is divided into three chambers, carrying under a pressure that can be regulated enough air to last an hour. Tte best paper cloth so far pro duced seems to be that made by a patented process used in Saxony. One kind is spun and woven from narrow 6trips of paper; a second variety con tains cotton with the paper; and a third grade—the best—results from a mixture of wool and paper. The new material—though not so strong and durable as ordinary cloth yields cheap, serviceable, and even washable clothing. An electric generator to be driven by the draught of a locomotive is a curious recent invention. The entire apparatus comprises a fan motor placed in the smoke stack, an electric generator and auxiliary flues near the bottom of the boiler. The theory Is that under certain conditions tha draught from the smoke box will sup ply the fan with considerable power. This will operate th-= generator, cause an electric current tc heat the aux iliary tubes, and thus deliver the ex cess of energy of the exhaust to heat the water in the "dead" space of the loiler. AMUSING ADVERTISEMENTS. An advertiser in a British magazine fays: "Old artificial teeth bought. Call, or if forwarded by post, utmost value per return. Messrs. Smith, manufacturing dentists, Oxford street, London. Es tablished 100 years." From the London Morning Post; "Irish lady, much reduced income, would be most graceful to lady (young, medi um size), who would give her left-oil clothes to help her maintain social posi tion; references. Address ." A notification appears in a Surrey (Eng.) newspaper from a Guildford chimney sweep to the effect that, owing to the increase in his business as a sweep, he is "unable to accept musical engagements for public concerts, etc." A tailor in Boston, Lincolnshire, Eng land. has hit upon a novel advertise ment. lie lias painted a letter of his came on the back of each of ten tor toises and has placed the ten in the win dow of his shop. He offers a prize of ten dollars to the first person who seea the tortoises in a line, so arranged that the letters are in the order in whicD they appear in his name. Of eccentric advertisements the Lon don Chronicle remarks: "Probably to the end of time respectable women will 'want washing,' though it is hard to reconcile their respectability with their lack of personal cleanliness. Butchers, too. who are prepared to 'kill anything" when in search of employment, are well matched by the dealer who, wanting a salesman, predicates that he must Lo 'alive when wanted."

"Coffee heart" is common to many coffee users and is liable to send the owner to his or her long home if the drug is persisted in. You can run 31 or 40 yards and find out if your heart Is troubled. A lady who was once a victim of the "coffee heart" writes from Oregon: "I have been a habitual user of cof fee all my life, and have suffered very much in recent years from ailments which 1 became satisfied were direct ly due to the poison in the beverage, such as torpid liver and indigestion, which in turn made my complexion blotchy and muddy.

He awoke in Hono lulu, a prisoner in a guardhouse, wear ing the khaki fatigue uniform of a private in the United States army. To say that he was much astonished would be to put it.in its mildest form. He had not the least recollection of having enlisted in his country's serv ice. His dazed eyes looked out 011 a strange land. He had lost all trace of time. Even his name had been changed. The man who had these weird ex periences is Frank J. Belyea in the army records. He lives in Greenpoint, N*. Y„ when he is at home. He is a graduate of a well-known eastern uni versity and went west soon after tak ing his degree in engineering. For a time 110 was employed as a civil engineer. Then he tried his hand as a cowboy. He was a miner and prospector with indifferent success. December, 1901, found him in San Francisco. Christmas was only two days off, and the bright lights of the - *1 - ■*" X '-3- } HE AWOKE IN HONOM I.r, A PRIS ONER IN A GUARDHOUSE. city blinked a wicked temptation to him to begin the celebration of the day thus early. The temptation was ac centuated by the feel of a comfortable roll of bills in his pocket. His last venture had been a little prospecting speculation in the mountains of Cali fornia. The roll contained close to SSO0 —and Christmas just two days away! He met friends by the score. Every body seemed to be his friend. He dimly remembers falling in at last with a squad of merry-making sol diers, privates from the Presidio. They took him to their arms and told him he was their long-lost friend. And now let Belyea himself take up this narrative: "When I awoke I had not the slight est notion of my whereabouts. Every thing was a blank to me. I fel( stiff and sore. I spied a soldier in a khaki uniform and thought he must be one of the companions I had been drinking with. He had a gun on his shoulder and was marching up and down in front of my bunking place. " nello, matey,' I called out. 'What's up and where am I at?' " Vou're in the guardhouse for as saulting everybody on board and a drum-head court-martial will be ready for you as soon as you get over the "D. T.'s,"' is what the soldier boy came back at me with. " 'Guard house, is it?' says I. 'But what I really want to know is what part of the map of the world it hap pens to be on.' The soldier told me that we were in Honolulu, in Camp McKinley, with a regiment of United States soldiers on their way to the Philippines. "I asked to see Maj. Davis, in com mand of the post. He sent an orderly to hear what the row was about. I told him I bad never enlisted in the army, and didn't intend to serve, and that my family would make it hot for Maj. Davis and the war department if 1 was not let out of the guardhouse and sent back to San Francisco. One of the soldiers said that I must have enlisted, for I had been taken on board the transport Thomas in San Francisco and brought along with the regiment, lie pointed to my uniform as evidence thai I must have enlisted. "All of my protests were for naught. I wan bundled on board the transport Thomas with the regiment and sent to the Philippines. That was on Feb ruary 12, Iwi, and I had awakened from my long sleep 011 January IT. I had tried to establish lhi- fact that I had never enlisted, but it was 110 use.

I was placed on the Sheridan, which sailed from Manila on October 1, and dropped into the brig like any deserter.

CHANCES FROM CHILD TO 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Remarkable Transformation Wrought in Miss Mary Seally in 48 Hours —Her Strange Malady. Morristown, X. J.—Miss Mary Scally, a pretty 19-year-old girl of this city, has just experienced something little less remarkable than a resurrection. In deed, the astonishment and awe of her friends as they crowd around her, look into her eyes and feel l;er hands, scarce ly could be greater if she had come back from the grave. The marvelous change was wrought in 48 hours. In every respect except as to her physical stature Miss Scally hud been as a little child. She drank milk from a tube. She was guided when she walked as though she vcre a tottering babe. Her only interest in life was the jingling of a toy rattle. She could not talk and her eyes wore the innocent, aimless look of an 18-months-old infant. Learned physicians had tried in vain to loose the spell. Her aunt, Bridget Scally. who lives with Mary and the girl's father. Patrick Scally, had given up hope of the young woman's recovery and had settled down to care for h«r in the same way thatsho would for a baby when the girl, within two days, leaped the span of 19 years of mental development. And the working of this wonder left science as ignorant as ever of the why or wherefore of tli? psychological mystery. The girl, strapped in her roller chair and sitting at the window playing with a rubber doll, saw an exhibition of fire works which had been left over from election time. The vivid lights and flashes seemed to "send forth waves of force which penetrated into tlie dark, in accessible depths of her mind and straightway began to illuminate them. The girl quickly but gradually recovered her reason and consciousness. Her first exclamation was one of thanksgiv ing. All of the other five children of the household are overjoyed at Mary's re covery, but nevertheless gaze upon her SHE SAT ON THE FLOOR AND PLAYED WITH DOLLS. with 110 little awe. They scarcely can reconcile themselves to the belief that she is not a supernatural being. Dr. Henriques. who attended the girl through her malady, said that he be lieved there would be no return of the affliction, although he was at a loss to give a scientific reason for the weird oc currence. Miss Scally suffered two previous attacks of a similar nature. The first came when she was 17 years old. It lasted three months, and her aunt accidentally released her from the spell by placing a box of candy in her lap. This simple incident seemed to awake into life the paralyzed bruin cells and the girl again became normal. Owes Life to Prayer. Louisville, Ky.—Thomas Langdon. a switchman, believes his delivery from instant and horrible death was due to a prayer instantly answered.

CHEAP WAY TO SHOW CFF Ostentation That Was a Makeshift to Lend an Appearance of Wealth.

"1 had just picked out the table I want ed - a trim little thing to fit in a corner of my parlor when who should come in but that horrid Mrs. Shoddy. 1 wouldn't have her know, for the world, that I was pay ing only $3.50 for the table, so 1 turned to one marked $lB before she saw me.

"You should have seen her face. 'lsn't it rather expensive?' she said. "'Oh, no.' I said. 'You cant expect to pet good things for nothing. Send that table to my address,' 1 said to the salesman.

"In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of cold,'' said Mr. J G Meukel, of 2975 Juckson avenue, Dubuque, lowa, in de scribing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles j and knees became so swollen I could I scarcely walk 011 uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a 1 time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale Peoplo, the remedy he had used. 111 three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. Wo i consider them a household remedy that we are sure about." What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins, pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of j all ill health. The new blood restores ! regularity, and braces all the organs for j their special tasks.
